Chapter 844
Edward and Jack patiently sat on a chair with their long legs crossed. As they drank tea, they chatted in low voices while staring at the movements on the lake surface.
Not far away, Abraham and his sister, together with the plump Crystal, were making snow castles and snowmen. They were also playing very happily.
In such a leisurely time, Felicity brought out her teacup and lowered her head to drink her tea.
Anne also held onto the cup, her gaze turned to look at Jack who was seated on a chair not far away, a complicated feeling welled up in her heart.
"My pole is moving!" Suddenly, Jack raised his eyebrows in complacency, he extended his hand and slowly shook the fishing rod, and indeed, he saw a fat fish, greedily fished it out.
Edward frowned, he continued to stare at the lake's surface, but unfortunately, his pole had no movement.
"Fish!" Crystal suddenly saw it. She immediately shook the little penguin's small body and walked to her dad's side. She squatted down and looked at the fat fish in the bucket that was rushing around.
Abraham and Arya also threw down their toys and ran over. Two pairs of big black eyes were staring at their father's empty bucket.
Seeing that the little guys had come over, Edward immediately laughed: "You guys don't want to build snowmen anymore?"
"Daddy, why didn't you catch a fish? The fish in Uncle Jack's basket is so big!" Arya immediately asked him innocently.
Edward laughed speechlessly, before he shrugged and said, "Maybe the fish on my side are smarter, so it won't be easy to hook on."
"Is that so?" Arya actually believed it, and then said seriously: "Then Father will just switch places with Uncle Jack. The fish over there are more stupid, and easier to catch."
The little fellow's naive words caused the two men to laugh out loud.
"Edward, aren't you afraid that Miss Felicity will scold you by teaching your child like this?" Jack immediately asked jokingly.
Edward also felt that he shouldn't lie to his daughter like that. He immediately explained in a gentle voice, "Arya, fishing is not a technical matter. It needs patience. Don't worry. Daddy will definitely catch you a big fish."
"Daddy, you can do it!" Arya immediately cheered on the side with a cute look.
However, Abraham squatted down, with one hand on his cheeks, he stared at the lake intently, as if he was thinking about something important.
The atmosphere became quiet again, and very quickly, Jack's hook moved again, and another fat fish was caught by him. Jack complacently raised his eyebrow at Edward: "See, I am still more charming."
Edward really wanted to throw the bucket towards him.
Edward had been sitting by the lake for more than two hours, but he had yet to catch any fish. However, Jack caught several fishes, so he said with a beaming smile: "The god must know that you're richer than me, so he asked you to treat me to a meal!"
Edward said with an expression of defeat… "Fine.. My treat!".
As the sky darkened, inside Ferry Village, the atmosphere was lively. There were quite a few high-end restaurants that entered.
The group entered a private room in a restaurant that had all sorts of unique characteristics.
It was a superb and relaxing meal. After dinner, everyone decided to take a dip in the hot spring pool before returning to the hotel to rest.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Edward and Jack took a bath at the hot spring pool separately.
Edward and Felicity had finished changing the clothes of the two little fellows and were sitting in the warm pool.
Arya was like a little fish swimming around in the pool, feeling extremely happy.
Abraham and her personality were never on the same channel. He was always quiet and mature, his tiny body sitting perfectly straight.
"Arya, stop playing. Be careful not to choke!" Seeing that her daughter was not at all calm, Edward laughed helplessly, and could only warn her from the side.
However, Arya was extremely excited and did not listen at all. She did not expect to choke on the water in the next second.
"Ahhh, Daddy, help, help!" Arya choked twice, then immediately shouted for help.
Edward hastened over and lifted her up, and saw that the little guy's face was red from choking, and she was coughing dryly.
"Idiot!" Abraham scolded from the side.
Arya glared at him. Her small body was curled up in her father's embrace.
Felicity stood at the side and laughed.
Looking at her daughter who was wrapped around Edward, her heart had an indescribable feeling. She felt it was sweet and blissful.
The two kids couldn't stay in the hot spring for too long. Ten minutes later, the two of them left the hot spring and returned to the hotel.
The two little fellows who had been playing around for the entire day were completely exhausted after soaking in the hot spring water. They lay on the bed and fell asleep very quickly.
Felicity and Edward looked at each other, then shook their heads and chuckled.
"Would you like a drink?" Edward suddenly pulled her into his embrace and asked.
Felicity had a habit of sneaking drinks before, so she definitely liked it too.
Felicity asked softly: "Is there alcohol here?"
"Of course. There's a wine cabinet downstairs with all kinds of alcohol inside!" Edward embraced her and kissed her cheeks before bringing her downstairs.
In this unfamiliar environment, both of them were inexplicably excited.
Perhaps the more unfamiliar a place was, the more one would feel relaxed.
The two of them leaned against the liquor cabinet, holding onto a glass of wine each.
"This is a great feeling!" Edward sighed: "You and the children are by my side. There's no heavy work, and everything is so easy."
Felicity knew that he had recently been under a lot of stress recently. Therefore, she walked to his side, and gently leaned on his shoulder. "Edward, you've earned enough money. You can spend more time resting in the future. Don't work so hard anymore." Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"I hope so too. But now, there's someone who can't let me relax!" A hint of annoyance and coldness flashed past Edward's eyes.
"What is Jack Hughes's purpose in returning to the country?"
"I haven't found anything wrong with him yet. He just drinks and chats with his friends every day. However, my grandpa mentioned to me that he wants to open a branch in the country." Of course, Edward kept a close eye on Jack Hughes's movements every day. He found out that he always drink with his friends, and went to all kinds of entertainment places, giving people the illusion of idleness.
"Why would he do that? Isn't his company listed abroad?" Felicity also knew some of Jack Hughes's matters.
"Maybe he wants to move back home and has a better chance of getting close to me." Edward sneered.
"Then do you want to stop him from doing so?" Felicity couldn't help but to be worried for him.
Edward laughed coldly, "There's no need for that. He is no threat to me. I just want to find a chance to take action against him."
"Edward, you must be careful of him. Take care of your safety." Felicity muttered softly.
Edward placed his wine cup to the side and gently embraced her: "For you and my children, I will be extremely careful with every step I take. Don't worry. "
